Creamy Tomato Soup with Parmesan Crisps

Nothing says comfort like a warm bowl of creamy, dreamy tomato soup. Satisfy your cravings with a homestyle meal that tastes like mom’s cooking while sticking to your keto diet. This smooth, velvety tomato soup is served up with crunchy parmesan crisps that are perfect for dunking or crumbling on top. It’s a unique twist on a classic combination that’s reminiscent of tomato soup and grilled cheese.

To create this delicious duo, get started by making the tomato soup. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add one finely diced small yellow onion and two cloves of minced garlic. Cook for about three minutes until translucent, then add one teaspoon of dried basil, two tablespoons of tomato paste, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and add one 14.5-ounce can of crushed tomatoes and three cups of chicken or vegetable stock. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. As soon as the soup begins to boil, turn the heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes. Once your soup is done simmering, turn off the heat and add a half-cup of heavy cream. With an immersion blender, puree the soup, being careful not to splash yourself with hot liquid.

Now that your soup is finished, set it aside to prepare your keto parmesan crisps. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Measure out three-quarters of a cup parmesan cheese to create your crisps. Using a tablespoon, scoop the parmesan onto the prepared pan to make 12 equal-sized mounds. Make sure to leave about two inches of space between each mound of cheese so they can spread out while baking. Bake for about 10 minutes or until deeply golden brown. Allow to cool for five minutes on the pan before serving. Ladle the soup into four bowls and serve with the parmesan crisps on the side or crumbled over top.
